I guess there comes a time where we just need to live and be who we are. It seems to me that your interactions with your H seem better again.
As for his court case, I think he is worried about it and this is a good opportunity for you to validate his fears and concerns. There is not much more you can do afterall, he got himself in this situation.
I'm sorry to hear about your dog and hope he is doing okay.
Thank you for slapping me once again on FIB's thread. I know I need to continue to work on not blaming myself so much. I responded to you on my thread.
